Abstract

Orthognathic surgery continues to evolve but still relies on a careful aesthetic analysis on which depends the surgical indications. This will be demonstrated with the example of four cases: an isolated maxillary surgery, a mandibular surgery associated with an harmonization by chin-surgery, two simultaneous maxilla-mandibular osteotomies (a Class II asymmetric and an important Class III).
